Firm Overview

The global reach you need, from the local firm you trust

Globalaw is an active and exciting network. Constantly evolving, Globalaw has grown steadily for 30 years, yet still values quality rather than quantity. Globalaw covers 76 different legal jurisdictions, making it one of the most extensive global legal networks and offering a broader global reach than any law firm. With one outstanding member firm per jurisdiction, member firms care about serving their clients with excellence. With its large global footprint, Globalaw members regularly coordinate large numbers of firms and lawyers to handle large and complex transactions.

Globalaw enjoys and leverages strong personal relationships, working hard to make people feel welcome within its network, and with members working hard to deliver quality client service.

Globalaw adds value. Its firms are expert in their fields, entrepreneurial and extremely well connected in their local markets. This means member firms are adept at providing clients with cost-effective services and practical legal solutions molded to the local legal and socio-economic context. Its firms are integral to their local business community, so global clients get more than resolution of legal issues. The network goes further to introduce clients to genuine business opportunities worldwide. And Globalaw adds value to network members. Every year, both regional and global meetings allow Globalaw lawyers to share expertise, discuss business opportunities for clients and get to know each other personally through networking and social events. There are also numerous business initiatives that bring together lawyers practicing in specialty areas or sectors so they can promote and expand the scope of services they can offer their clients globally.
